The Best of 2008: AlbumsЛучшее из 2008: Альбомы

Assigning places to music is very hard and relative. I more or less managed with 1-20, though after the top 5, it was hard to decide what I liked better. And this all is very, very subjective. So, don’t judge – or do, it’s all up to you. I can only say that my favorite albums of the year were the great comebacks, Portishead, which was acknowledged by everyone, and underrated Tricky. Don’t know, but I found it a great album, and Tricky is still one of the best poets alive. And Jersey – these guys brought hours and hours of my listening to their new album. Concerned about being biased, I didn’t give them 1st place, but they come as #3 not because I happen to know them personally, but just because the album is so good! Anyway, here it goes – top 20 and other favorites whose places I wasn’t able to figure out.
